Introduction
Kyoka: Hello, everyone. My name is Kyoka, and I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. And I– okay, I'm gonna talk about my thing. So I love music, so I was studying music a lot. So in junior high school and senior high school, I was studying piano, classical music, piano. I was studying that for six years in Japan. And after I graduated from high school, I went to England, London, and I studied piano performance. And do you know piano pedagogy? So it's piano kyouikugaku in Japanese. I studied that, and also I studied Alexander Technique, everything related to piano and music for five years in London. And after that, I came back to Japan and I was kind of doing freelancing. So I was teaching piano, English, drawing, crafting quite a lot. And now I joined Taktopia after all of that.

Life in Japan  
Q. ピアノを始めたのはいつ頃？
Kyoka: Umm… I started when I was four. I started the electronic piano, so it's erekuton in Japanese. I started that when I was four. ＜どれくらいの頻度で練習したの？＞Every single day. ＜なんでピアノを始めたの？＞ I'm not sure, because I didn't like practicing, but I really liked listening to music, and there's (a) dancing as well with music. So I think that kind of brought me into playing the piano ＜最初は親がやって欲しかったんでしょ＞ Yes, at the very beginning, yes. ＜小学校はどこに行ったの？＞ It's just a public school. ＜それから音大に行ったの？＞ Yes, exactly. ＜その後に海外にいったんだね＞ Yes, exactly.

Q. なんで海外に行こうと思ったの?
Kyoka:  Umm… first thing I thought was like, music wasn’t fine enough for me. I just wanted different skills. Yes. Because I was like practicing it every single day. Music was all my life. So, I was wondering what I should do next, and you know, people say English is a universal language, and I believe that music [is], too. So, you know, music and English, if we combine that, I think that's going to be like, perfect. So that's why I wanted to study English, but as well as music in English. 

Q. 小さい時から英語を頑張ってたの？
Kyoka: Not really. Not really. None of my family speak English. ＜高校の時の成績は？＞ That wasn't really, really great, to be honest. ＜英検とか持ってた？＞ No, I wasn't a good student. I wasn't. But yeah ＜悪い子だったらしいね笑＞ No, no! Not really! ＜そこからピアノを頑張ったんだ＞ Exactly. ＜部活は？＞ Dancing and tea ceremony. ＜ピアノは部活でやってないの？＞No, because it was all included in my programme.

Q. 国たち音大の付属ってどんな感じなの？
Kyoka: So you, of course, study like, English, maths, Japanese, all kind[s] of, those kinds of subjects. But as well as that, I was studying music history, music theory and so… do you know conducting? ＜指揮の仕方とか？＞ Composing.＜composerは作曲家だね＞ So all all kinds of that. ＜クラスメイトはみんな楽器ができるの？＞ Yes, sometimes only classic music, but trumpeter,flutist and also vocalist as well like opera. ＜そういう人がクラスにいるんだね＞ Yes, exactly.　＜芸能人とかいるの？＞ Not really but one of my classmates was from Kabuki.

Studying Music in London
Q. ずっと国立で急に海外に行くことになったの？
Kyoka: So the deadline for my university was like the end of September. Then I decided to take the exam around the beginning of September. So I had basically like two or three weeks. ＜そこからIELTSとかを受けたの？＞ No, that was actually after that, but I had to prepare all the documents in English and to prepare for interviews as well. ＜何大学に行ったの？＞ Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. ＜三番目の単語何？＞ Conservatoire.  I'm not sure if my pronunciation is okay, but like Conservatoire. ＜フランス語でどういう意味なの？＞ Music school. ＜ロンドンのどこら辺にあるの？＞ In Greenwich. ＜Greenwich Observatory (天文台) 上がるところね＞Yes, exactly. 

Q. 何が受験に求められたの？
Kyoka: Piano skill or listening skill and the knowledge of music. All kind of related to music. ＜志望動機書とかrecommendation (推薦状) もだよね＞Yes, yes. From my Japanese teachers. ＜面接は何回ぐらいあるの？＞ Just once for my school. ＜その時英語できなかったんでしょ？受かったの？＞Yes. Passion! ＜ピアノの演奏もあるんだよね＞ Yes. I think I played three pieces from different eras.

Q. IELTSはいつ受けたの？
Kyoka: Probably, like, three months before my departure. ＜何点ぐらいとったの？＞ 4.0 ＜そこから今のレベルまで上げたストーリーは？＞ Yeah, so I'm going to talk about how I was studying in my first year. So I literally couldn't understand anything. Literally. So but obviously all other classmates were, like, writing down all the notes but I couldn't listen to anything. I couldn't hear anything. So what I could recognise was like this blah, blah, blah. That's why blah, blah. All kind of like words. ＜簡単な単語はわかるけど内容は分からないんだ＞Yes. So I was just writing that down. Yes. I didn't want to just sit and just do nothing. So I just wanted to show that I'm doing something. ＜ピアノ弾いたら他の人よりも上手いんじゃないの？＞ Yeah, I guess because my junior and senior high school was quite professional –musicians–, so I had lots of knowledge about music. ＜いつ頃から分かり始めたの？＞ It probably took me around at least half year. ＜ロンドンに5年間だよね＞ Yes. Five years.

Q. その時の英語勉強法とかは？
Kyoka:  So in my case, I tried not to study. Because like, you know, sitting, writing, reading books, that's kind of same as when I'm in Japan. So what I tried is to just go out with friends and talk to lots of professors and yeah, just communicate as much as possible. And imitate. I was doing that all the time. So my friend was talking,. I was like, literally, imitating every single word. ＜日本にはどれくらい帰ってたの？＞. Once a year. ＜何人兄妹？＞ I have a younger brother.

Q. ホームシックとか過酷じゃないの？
Kyoka: Yes. But I think because I wasn't really as I said, I wasn't really studying a lot, I could make lots of friends by communicating, so that kind of helped me from, like, [being] homesick. ＜勉強にはあまり苦労しなかった？＞ I mean like, it was really hard for me. Especially, I couldn't understand anything. But I think people in England were really, really kind. They didn't really judge me, even if I couldn't speak English. ＜イギリス英語が身についてるもんね＞ Yes. My English is very British. I know. ＜イギリス人が多かったんだね＞ Yes. All my flatmates were British as well. I had, like, five flatmates and they were all British. ＜本当にイギリス英語を身につけたいなら音楽大学がいいかもね＞ Yeah, I recommend it.

Future Plan
Q. 高校の時にTaktopiaに出会ってるんだよね
Kyoka:  Yeah. Yes, actually that's actually before I entered my university. Probably like a year before. Yeah, I joined like, [a] three-days programme. ＜キャンプであったメンターとまだ繋がってるんだよね＞ Yes, we are best friends. ＜Taktopiaではどんなことをやりたいの？＞ Probably something related to music. ＜年代はなんでも大丈夫なんだよね＞ Yes. Yeah, I was teaching from like, two-year-old[s] to 60, up to 70-year-old[s].

Q. 今後10年のプランを教えて
Kyoka: My life plan– that's a very, very difficult question. But let me have a think. As I said, I kind of learned English from not studying, but I really, really like that idea of people experiencing lots of things rather than studying just like [with a] pencil and paper and stuff. So I want to kind of try to tell everyone that they could think about that.
